Hi, Swampy!
Welcome. Can relate to a lot of what you have been saying -- addicted for twenty-four years. Once was one year sober, then relapsed, got the support I needed, worked the Steps, prayed to my Higher Power, now have three months sobriety.
Just take the present moment. That's what helped me. Just one little moment at a time. Whenever I beat up on myself...
...it only made things worse. Instead, be gentle with yourself. It's gonna be okay. Hope you get lots of support here. I know everyone at SR really helped me. Welcome!
